I wore my silence like a crown of thorns
Tongue stitched shut with yesterday’s scorn
Built a throne from the lies they sold
Sat on bones of stories I never told
Chorus
This fragile empire’s cracking clean
But broken glass still cuts real deep
You burned the bridge and blamed the match
I lit the sky—and I ain’t looking back
My walls were paper, now they’re steel
You taught me pain that made me real
Keep your pity, keep your prayer
I turned my ruin into warfare
Verse 2
They watched me crawl and called it grace
Now they flinch when they see my face
I ghost through halls that once were home
Haunted by truths I carved in stone
Bridge (spoken or screamed)
Tell the kings and cowards alike—
I built my legacy out of the ashes they left me in.
And if I fall again...
I’ll fall like thunder.
Outro
Fragile? Maybe.
But glass can pierce where steel won’t reach.
And I…
I remember everything.
